Chapter 312 Everything Can Be Traded
On the way home in the carriage, Suning smiled and shared his happiness with his wife, but he did not expect his wife to complain to him, "Suning, you are so mean!
We are not afraid of scaring our son!
There’s more!
Chen Boda's female relatives were terrified today. You've gone too far."

"Haha, if you don't show them your cards, these old foxes won't reveal them easily." Suning said with a disapproving smile.

"Suning, Li Shanchang has been captured by you.

Can I leave the logistics work to him?" Liu Yifei also thought that what Suning said made sense, and then stopped dwelling on the issue and asked about more important things.

"No! I need to observe Li Shan for a while longer.

Sissi, it’s not that I’m suspicious.

Li Shanchang is too clever. He could easily end up in a dead end where his cleverness backfires. We have to be on guard against him!"

"Yes! I'll follow your arrangements!"

"Xixi, there is another bad thing." Looking at his well-behaved wife, Suning suddenly showed a wry smile.

"what?"

"Chen Boda asked me to marry his fourteen-year-old daughter as a concubine. What do you think I should do about this?"

“Humph! You’ve been with so many women before and never considered my feelings.

Why are you asking for my opinion now?"

"Xixi, didn't you look down on me at first?

If you had been willing to be with me from the beginning, I would definitely not have been involved with other women."

"Huh! My mom is right!
A man’s mouth is deceptive!

When we first met, I was only fifteen years old.

If I really want to be with you, aren't you afraid of going to jail?" Liu Yifei looked at the unsatisfied man with disdain.

"Hehe, even if I die under the peony flowers, I will still be romantic even if I become a ghost!

Besides, I can raise you first and then eat you!" Suning suddenly hugged his wife and whispered in her ear.

"Get out of here! I'm annoyed just by seeing you!

I also met Chen Boda's daughter in the inner house today. I think her name is Chen Chen. She looks like the little girl next door."

"Huh? Sissi, I really don't care about the child's appearance.

It's asking you whether you want to accept Chen Boda's request. " Seeing his wife sulking, Su Ning was quite speechless.

"Huh! Do we still need to worry about such a good thing?

In fact, when you first told me your plan, I had already anticipated this step.

I know that if you want to consolidate your career, you must have a large number of children, which is something I can't do alone!

Besides, the medical conditions are so poor nowadays, I don’t want to say goodbye to you forever just because of giving birth!"

"Sissi, I'm sorry!
But do you remember the pill I gave you when the plane crashed?"

"Huh? Remember! What was that?"

“That’s the ‘Marrow Cleansing Pill’ that I finally got. Both of our bodies have been strengthened.

So, the physical fitness issue you're considering doesn't exist at all."

"Oh! So that's how it is!
Suning, I can tolerate you having other women.

But you absolutely cannot let me and our child down!" Liu Yifei looked at Suning solemnly.

"Yes! I promise!

I promise no woman will ever take your place.

There will definitely be other women who appear in the future, and I will leave them to you to take care of.”

"Asshole! You're a hooligan!" Liu Yifei quickly understood the "sexual" ridicule from Suning and couldn't help blushing and her heart began to beat fast.

"Hehe, today I want you to see what a real gangster is." Suning once again put on a smirk and bit Liu Yifei's ear.

The next morning, Su Ning sent his housekeeper Wu San to the Chen family to propose marriage, which was a practical action to show his attitude. Looking at the betrothal gifts brought from the Su family, Chen Boda smiled with surprise.

Chen Boda's daughter was just Su Ning's concubine. Plus, it was the eve of the uprising, so Su Ning did not hold a big banquet. He simply welcomed Chen Chen into the Su family as a ceremony.

The main reason for not holding a wedding banquet was that Suning was worried that his wife would have opinions. He had abducted her into this strange world for no apparent reason and did not give her a grand wedding, so he should not do too many things to stimulate her.

Suning knew that he felt very sorry for his wife Liu Yifei, so he was more eager to control China, then ascend to the throne and give his wife a glorious queen ceremony.

"Father-in-law, this is my personal guard platoon leader Xu Da, a great general whom I value very much.

This time I will have him bring three skilled guards to protect you."

"Thank you, dear son-in-law! You really are thoughtful!
However, I have a pretty good relationship with Barbarian Hague.

There shouldn't be any danger on this trip to Wuhu." Chen Boda was very satisfied with Suning's attentive service.

"Haha, it's better to be careful!
With personal guards escorting Father-in-law, my son-in-law and Chen Chen will feel much more at ease."

"Haha, if you and Chen Chen really want to, just give me a grandson!"

"." Asking himself to have a child with a fourteen-year-old girl was absolutely impossible for Suning.

Seeing that his son-in-law did not respond, Chen Boda thought that Suning was embarrassed and stopped discussing the matter. Then, under the protection of Xu Da and four others, he boarded the big ship to Wuhu Water Fort. Of course, he also brought with him valuable gifts for the Yuan general Manzi Hague and the left prime minister of ZJ Province, Fushou.

Almost all the interests of the Jianghuai Salt Field are controlled by Fu Shou, the left prime minister of ZJ Province. The Yuan general Manzi Hague is not only the largest naval commander of the Yuan Dynasty, but also the absolute confidant of the left prime minister Fu Shou.

In order to obtain the salt farmers from the Jianghuai Salt Field, one must bribe the Left Prime Minister Fu Shou through the barbarian Hague, so the generous gift arranged by Suning is absolutely irresistible.

Going upstream from the wharf in Chuzhou, we soon arrived at the Wuhu naval stronghold of the Yuan Dynasty. Almost all the huge Yuan Dynasty warships that covered the sky and the sun were here. Even Chen Boda, who had seen them many times, was still shocked, not to mention Xu Da and the other four "old-fashioned guys".

"My dear!

Such a big ship, it would be great if all of them belonged to our Longmen Escort Agency!" Xu Da kept swallowing his saliva and said with deep emotion.

"Haha, General Xu, we will have all these!" Chen Boda looked at Xu Da who was full of emotion, and suddenly said something meaningful with a smile.

Since they were all acquaintances, Chen Boda easily met the Yuan general, Manzi Hague, and said, "Sir, I, Chen Boda, greet you."

"Chen Boda? I remember you!
How is your business in Chuzhou City lately?"

"Thanks to you, my business in Chuzhou City is doing well.

My daughter is getting married recently, so I came here today to thank you for your kindness, sir."

"Haha, Chen Boda, why do you want to thank me for marrying your daughter?" Barbarian Hague showed a puzzled expression.

"Sir, if you hadn't led our Great Yuan Navy to guard this water fort, we businessmen would not be able to live a peaceful life."

"Haha, you Han people just speak in a nice way!" Chen Boda's flattery made the barbarian Hague laugh out loud, and he felt even more satisfied looking at the sensible Chen Boda in front of him.

"."

"Someone, come! Let Chen Boda sit down! Serve him tea!"

"Thank you, sir!" Chen Boda bowed to the barbarian Hague and then half of his butt was pressed against the edge of the stool.

When the barbarian Hague saw Chen Boda's fearful and fearful behavior, he became more and more proud and felt that wherever the sun shone was the world of the Mongol nobles.

"Sir." Just then, Manzi Hague's butler handed him the gift list that Chen Boda had given him. Manzi Hague looked at the items and numbers on the gift list with confusion. Even though he had seen a lot of things, he was surprised. He then stared at Chen Boda with his eyes as big as gongs.

"Why did Boda send such an expensive gift?" Seeing the expensive gifts on the gift list, the barbarian Hague even changed the way he addressed Chen Boda, becoming more friendly, and the look in his eyes when he looked at Chen Boda became full of tenderness.

"Sir, my son-in-law is from a merchant family.

I heard that you can run a salt business, and I also want to get involved and have a piece of the pie.

I wonder if you could put in a few good words for the Left Prime Minister, Lord Fushou?"

"Everyone here is a wise person, I will speak well of this to the Left Prime Minister.

But I can’t say for sure whether the Left Prime Minister will agree in the end, or how much share he will agree to give! "

"This humble man should understand that as long as you are willing to say a few kind words, my son-in-law and I will remember your kindness!"

"Haha, since Boda is so sensible, I will take you to meet the Left Prime Minister now!" After receiving such a valuable gift from Chen Boda, the barbarian Hague was very honored.

"Thank you, sir!" Chen Boda was surprised and bowed to the barbarian Hague again to express his gratitude.

Chen Boda, Xu Da and four other personal guards boarded Manzi Hague's ship, which shocked Chen Boda and the other three so much that they widened their eyes. Manzi Hague felt extremely happy when he saw the expressions of Chen Boda and the other three who looked like they had never seen the world before.

"Is this Boda's first time aboard this giant ship?"

"Yes! It's all thanks to you, sir, that we have this honor!"

"Haha!" Barbarian Hague's eyes narrowed into slits as he listened to Chen Boda's compliments. Suddenly, he noticed the extraordinary skills of Xu Da and his three companions. He looked at Chen Boda with a puzzled look, "Boda, who are these four?"

"Sir, this is a bodyguard from my son-in-law's escort agency. The escort business has been getting harder and harder lately, so my son-in-law came up with the idea of selling salt."

"Oh? Why is that?"

"My lord, you don't know!

For some reason, bandits have become more and more rampant in the past two years.

A bunch of desperate criminals would appear out of nowhere." Chen Boda, also a "good actor," complained bitterly in front of the barbarian Hague.

"Humph! These idiots are asking for their own death!

"My Great Yuan Dynasty is so glorious, yet you shamelessly run off to become a bandit. You've truly fallen into depravity!"

"Huh? That's what the adults said!

My son-in-law is planning to start a salt business and will close the escort agency as soon as possible."

"Well! Don't worry, Boda!

This time, it will be a sure thing.

However, after meeting the Left Prime Minister, you can't be too stingy! " Barbarian Hague patted Chen Boda on the shoulder, then gave Chen Boda a knowing look.

"Haha, don't worry, sir!

The gift for the Left Prime Minister has already been prepared and is on the boat at the back."

“Haha, Boda is so smart!

There is a future! " Seeing Chen Boda so understanding, Manzi Hague smiled happily.

The ship of Barbarian Hague sailed smoothly from Wuhu Water Fort to Jiqing Road, then landed at Caishiji Wharf, and arrived at the official residence of Fushou, the left prime minister of ZJ Province, without any obstruction.

The Left Prime Minister Fushou was also very surprised to see the generous gift prepared by Chen Boda. He also listened to Chen Boda's request from his confidant Manzi Hague. In fact, for him, who to let be the agent for the salt of Jianghuai Salt Field was really a trivial matter.

After all, just like the problem of dealers in later generations, it has no impact on him as the "big dealer", but will make it easier for him as the "big dealer".

"Yeah! Okay!
All the salt produced by the Jianghuai Salt Field can be handed over to your father-in-law and son-in-law."

"Ah? Thank you so much for your kindness, Left Prime Minister! In the next life, we, the father-in-law and the son-in-law, will definitely repay you with a loving gesture!" Chen Boda excitedly knelt down to express his gratitude to Fushou, who was in a higher position, because he did not expect Fushou to be so "generous" and actually gave them such a generous gift in return.

"Hmph!" Left Prime Minister Fushou was not very satisfied with Chen Boda's statement.

“Haha, the afterlife is too long!

Why not repay the Prime Minister's kindness in this lifetime?" The barbarian Hague was indeed a close confidant of the Left Prime Minister Fushou. He quickly noticed the Left Prime Minister Fushou's displeasure, and then said to Chen Boda with a forced smile.

"Huh? I understand!
Every year, 50% of the profits from selling salt will be given to the Left Prime Minister!"

"Yeah! Very good! Let's go down!"

"Yes! Left Prime Minister!"

Barbarian Hague once again led the surprised Chen Boda out of the residence of Left Prime Minister Fushou, then looked at Chen Boda meaningfully, "Boda, you and your son-in-law have received such a great benefit, but you can't forget me as the middleman!"

"Huh? How could I forget your grace, sir?
Every year, 10% of the profits from the salt trade will go to you!"

"Boda, isn't 10% profit a bit too little?" The barbarian Hague was not satisfied with the amount given by Chen Boda.

"Sir, one percent profit is really a lot!
A 10% profit would be at least 400,000 taels of silver per year, which is not a small amount!"

"What? How can there be so many?" Barbarian Hague was also shocked.

"My lord, this is still an understatement!

Due to inconvenient transportation in many places, a lot of the profits from salt sales are taken away by private salt dealers.

If we had a giant ship like yours, and sailed along the Yangtze River, we would definitely occupy the salt market along the river as quickly as possible.

A 10% profit would be worth at least 500,000 to 600,000 taels of silver."

"What? Selling salt is so lucrative?"

"Yes! It's really very profitable!"

"Boda, if I rent the giant ship to you and your son-in-law, can you give me 20% of the profit?" The barbarian Hague quickly revealed his greedy nature.

“This. OK!

My son-in-law also runs a grain business.

If Your Excellency agrees that my son-in-law can occasionally borrow Your Excellency's large ship to transport food, I will agree to Your Excellency's request." Chen Boda suppressed his inner surprise and said with a gnashing of teeth.

"Haha, let's just call it a deal!"

After watching the barbarian Hague's huge ship leave the Caishiji Wharf again, Chen Boda took Xu Da and the other three people on board the ship, which they felt suddenly became very small, and then sailed towards Chuzhou City.

"Xu Da, I feel that after you return to Chuzhou City this time, you will at least be promoted to battalion commander."

"What? Battalion Commander?

impossible!

I'm just a platoon leader now, and there's a company commander one level higher than me!"

"Haha, let's just wait and see!"

Even a business veteran like him might not be able to tell exactly how many salt farmers there were in the Jianghuai Salt Field, but there would be no problem in quickly gathering 100,000 troops, and it would also be very simple if Xu Da was promoted to the battalion commander commanding 500 people.

After Chen Boda's excitement subsided, he no longer had any doubts about his son-in-law in his heart, and he had completely made up his mind to work hard with his son-in-law.
